Chemicals, hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, contaminants, constituents, by-products, and pollutants are subject to regulatory mandates at every stage of their production, use, and transportation. Any person who produces, imports, processes, handles, releases, or disposes of a chemical substance is expected to know which rules apply to any given activity and commit the necessary resources to ensure compliance.
